The Annual Editions series is designed to provide convenient, inexpensive access to a wide range of current articles from some of the most respected magazines, newspapers, and journals published today. Annual Editions are updated on a regular basis through a continuous monitoring of over 300 periodical sources. The articles selected are authored by prominent scholars, researchers, and commentators writing for a general audience. Each Annual Editions volume has a number of features designed to make them especially valuable for classroom use: an annotated "Table of Contents," a "Topic Guide," an annotated listing of supporting websites, "Learning Outcomes" and a brief overview for each unit, and "Critical Thinking" questions at the end of each article.
